    For fans of Tina Fey and David Sedaris - Internet star Jenny Lawson, aka The Bloggess, makes her literary debut. Jenny Lawson realized that the most mortifying moments of our lives - the ones we'd like to pretend never happened - are in fact the ones that define us. In Let's Pretend This Never Happened, Lawson takes readers on a hilarious journey recalling her bizarre upbringing in rural Texas, her devastatingly awkward high school years, and her relationship with her long-suffering husband, Victor.

    Would you listen to Let's Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir) again? Why?

    I've already listened to this audiobook twice. It's a wonderfully twisted and hilarious memoir.


    What other book might you compare Let's Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir) to and why?

    It's sort of like Tina Fey's "Bossypants," only with more taxidermy.


    Which character – as performed by Jenny Lawson – was your favorite?

    Beyonce.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    I nearly died laughing. It would have been an excellent way to go.


    Any additional comments?

    I really can't recommend this book highly enough. I bought the print version as well and read some of the more screwed-up stories to my six-year-old, minus the profanity, in the hopes that he is coming to realize just how damn lucky he really is.

    Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate... until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black.

    Would you try another book from Ally Condie and/or Kate Simses?

    I became almost as tired of the Society as the main character did. The reading felt a bit monotonous, the narrator over-enunciated just about everything; it felt rote. But the story itself also felt a bit plodding, so perhaps that wasn't the fault of the narrator.


    What three words best describe Kate Simses’s voice?

    Childlike


    Was Matched worth the listening time?

    No. Unfortunately.
